Lehigh will head to Saint Francis (Pa.) on Dec. 8 then after a break for exams, travels to North Texas to face the Mean Green. A perennially strong program, North Texas has averaged 21 victories over its last six seasons and features NBA prospect Tony Mitchell who last season averaged 14.7 points and 10.3 rebounds per game (as a freshman).
“North Texas is a strong program that’s had a tremendous amount of basketball success, particularly in recent history,” Reed said. “Mitchell is noted by many as perhaps being the most athletic player in all of college basketball; he has tremendous size and skill level. It will be a fantastic matchup of high quality players at the mid-major level [with Lehigh’s C.J. McCollum], one that’s certainly an exciting individual matchup as well as team matchup.”
